Fetch Latest Build Version

[ionutrogojan]

I am trying to build myself a small auto updater tool for the Discord Client on my Fedora machine.
I have a less_packages == better rule, so I use the tar.gz version and it is very annoying to constantly get the "Must be your lucky day.." popup every time I want to run the Client.
I am able to automate the download, extract and replace old directory part of the process but fetching the latest build version to compare against the ~/resources/build_info.json version and determine the need to update seems to be impossible.

1. I first tried to find an API endpoint to fetch the build version but all I get from google searches is API versioning and which are deprecated.
2. Then I tried to search the docs for any sort of information which did not make a change.
3. I also tried to check the user-agent data on the discord website to see if I can find any info about the build version to no success.
4. I even tried using Wireshark to find the IP being requested when the client launches and I found the "Client Hello" and "Server Hello" Packets and IP, but all the information is encrypted and I can't get any concrete information.
5. My last attempt was to ask on the Discord Developers Server for help and presented my previous attempts but could not get help either as there are no "official" and documented methods of retrieving the latest build version of the Discord Client.

So.. can we get an API endpoint or, if there already exists one, some documentation to fetch the latest client build version??

Pretty please :)

This isn't the right repo for questions like this. However I know that someone made an auto-updating AUR repo, so I would suggest checking their code out: https://github.com/mrkirby153/archlinux-discord/blob/main/archlinux_discord/discord.py

Thank you. This is very useful.
I found what I need here but I still think there should be some documentation of which API's are available for use.
Every API section in the Docs points to API Reference, but I can't find a list of endpoints.
How did this developer even know that discord.com/api/updates was even an endpoint they could use?

Endpoints are listed in their respective category on the left sidebar, but the documentation is for bot endpoints, not user endpoints which aren't really meant to be used outside of the actual discord app

I was trying to automate Discord updates too, and thanks to your post I found the correct endpoint. Thanks.
For anyone looking for a basic solution, it may helps:
